    For his adaptation of the story of the emperor's daughter Turandot and the suitors who would marry her, Brecht has the action take place during a strike by clothes-makers - and the clothesless - who rise up in protest at the Emperor's dishonest manipulation of the cotton-market in which he has a monopoly: he is withholding stock until the prices rise. In order to control public relations, the Emperor hires three thinkers to invent reasons as to why the cotton market should be so dry; the winning thinker will win the hand of his daughter. 'Turandot' premiered at Zurich Schauspielhaus, in February 1969.

    A prologue set in Berlin of 1945 shows two sisters whose brother has deserted from the German army and is found hanged: should they risk being seen by the SS cutting his body down? In the play itself Creon becomes a brutal aggressor who has attacked Argos for the sake of its iron ore; Polyneikes deserts in protest against this war which has killed his brother; and Antigone is partly moved by a like disapproval of her uncle's policy. 'The Antigone of Sophocles' was conceived as a new experiment in the epic theatre, and is linguistically an extraordinary composition. It was first produced in February 1948.

    'The Days of the Commune' tells the story of the uprising and ultimate failure of the Paris Commune in 1871, a city council in France's capital which based its policies on socialism and proclaimed its right to rule over all of France. It held out for two months of counter-attack by the regular French army before its final defeat in May, 1871. Brecht's account of the Commune is based on Norwegian playwright Nordahl Grieg's play 'The Defeat'. In his adaptation, Brecht eschews a central protagonist, focusing instead on the Commune as characterised by the people in the street. It was first performed in November 1956, shortly after Brecht's death.
